THE BULBULS. 27 
Chamba as Painju. This bird is, to my taste, the pret- 
tiest of all the Bulbuls ; it is nearly eight inches long, and 
of a drab colour, with a black throat. and lemon-yellow 
patch under the tail, which appendage is tipped with

tint. A bird just like it, but with a much longer and 
more pointed crest and sulphur yellow under tail-patch, 
was once got by Mr. Hume at Jalalpoor near Jhelum in 
the Punjab. and has been described by Mr. Oates as a new 
species, under the name of Molpastes humii. It would be 
Very interesting to get hold of more specimens of this form, 
for so far only the one is known, and it may perhaps be 
only a “sport” or variety, though it would not be any the 
less interesting on that account. The ordinary White-eared
